	<h2>Dietary intake</h2>
	<p>
		For breakfast, I had 50 grams of cereal and 50  grams of soy milk.
		For lunch, I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
		At work, one of the shift leaders offered me a 14-gram candy, so I ate that mostly to be polite.
		They often bring everyone things such as doughnuts or cookies, but I never eat them because they have milk and/or eggs in them, but these candies didn&apos;t.
		They were excited to have found something I&apos;d take; I wasn&apos;t aware they&apos;d noticed I always passed on the other things, so I was glad I took the candy.
		For dinner, I veggie patty, pickle, and tapioca cheese sandwich.
	</p>
	<p>
		After work, I bought a proper digital scale.
		This one&apos;ll work much better than the mechanical one.
		The problem with the mechanical one is that it only lets you get into the ballpark of pre-designated amounts.
		You can&apos;t really get very precise reads if you&apos;re not deliberately aiming for one of the marked increments, which are a full twenty-five grams apart.
		Not precise at all, really.
		I find myself adding more food or less food just to get to a measurable increment.
		This one comes with a warranty as well.
		I don&apos;t recall if the one that stopped working coming with a warranty, and if it did, I&apos;m not sure I saved the receipt.

		My discussion post for the day:
	</p>
	<blockquote>
		<p>
			I guess you gave several examples of applications you think require custom controls, but you didn&apos;t explain at all what custom controls they might need or why they would need custom controls to begin with.
			What makes these applications so special in their functionality that they&apos;re not able to use regular widget controls?
			Basically, those all seem like reading applications.
			It seems like they could just be implemented with scrolling views, with no need to build new controls that users need to learn before they can use them.

	<p>
		I laid out my remaining metres of track, and didn&apos;t even make it to the crossroad in the tunnel.
		I finished the tunnel floor though and started work on the walls.
	</p>
	<p>
		I decided on an ordering for unlocking the recipes for the alchemic abominations.
		First, the coalwood saplings.
		Honestly, coal&apos;s way easier to find than it needs to be to keep you stocked up on torches.
		It&apos;s so common that most players just use it as furnace fuel anyway.
		If you wanted to grow furnace fuel on trees, you&apos;d just grow trees and burn the logs, so I think most players would consider the coalwood saplings to be the least useful and least interesting of the three chimeric saplings.
		After that, you unlock the recipe for coalsand.
		I&apos;m not sure what to have it do, but it&apos;s the least versatile of the three non-sapling hybrids.
		That doesn&apos;t mean it&apos;s the least useful, as I don&apos;t even know what it&apos;ll be used for yet, but it has the least possible things that can be crafted from it.
		Next will come sandwood saplings.
		Already, the chests made form them are planned to be useful, but I still consider the ironwood saplings to be the most important saplings.
		They come next though.
		After that, luminium, and finally, ironsand.
		Ironsand will have the most things it can be crafted from of the three non-sapling hybrids, so I want it to be the final target to reach.

	<h2>A promotion?</h2>
	<p>
		I was sort of left in charge for about an hour today.
		The shift leader running the front was scheduled to leave an hour before the next one would arrive.
		That said, another shift leader was on the premises, they were just in the back making the dough for tomorrow, so they weren&apos;t running anything.
		They were there if something somehow went horribly wrong and I needed them though.
		But also, there were only two of us in the front, so I was only in charge of one person: the one that doesn&apos;t follow directions well.
		Mostly, they did as asked though.
		With so few of us, I could send them to a station I needed covered while I ran another station that needed attention, and with an entire station to themself, they didn&apos;t try doing something else.
		They did have one problem though.
		We had an early order, placed long before the customer wanted to pick it up.
		They pointed it out, and I specifically told them it was way too soon to make it.
		I had to keep telling them, as they kept trying to make the order, and I ended up telling them three times not to make it, and every time, I explained that the pickup was over an hour away.
		And then, when I wasn&apos;t watching what they were doing, they made the order and threw it in anyway.
		It was a custom pizza, so no one else was going to buy it, and it came out of the oven a full hour before the customer was due to pick it up.
		There was no way it&apos;d be fresh still, so the pizza was wasted and we had to make it again at the proper time anyway.
		I swear, this person is no good at listening.

	<h2>Hair-removing $a[laser]</h2>
	<p>
		The $a[laser] I bought online was scheduled to arrive today at the latest.
		But it didn&apos;t.
		After work, I tried to log into the vendor&apos;s website to see if there was any known delay, and the site claimed my password was incorrect.
		I tried resetting the password, but the site redirected (after I verified my email) to an invalid page.
		I can&apos;t contact support either, as doing so obnoxiously requires first logging in.
		Those morons.
		I&apos;ve reached out to their Twitter support team, which I hate doing, but this sort of thing&apos;s the only reason I use my Twitter account any more.
		Many companies can be reached on Twitter when they can&apos;t be reached elsewhere.
	</p>
	<p>
		This is infuriating though.
		Fix your broken website.
